Ted Jackson- You Ought To Do a Story About Me

[John Patrick Garriga]

Ted Jackson is a photojournalist, worked with the Picayune in New Orleans for a good few years. I got to hear him speak. His book is a great read. It's about a football player, Jackie Wallace, who played in a few Superbowls. Ended up a homeless crack addict sleeping under a bridge in New Orleans. He talked a little bit about what it was like shooting during and immediately following Katrina, some of the interviews he's done. Great guy, wholesome. Very friendly. Great author, too. I could listen to him describe how paint dries and still be entertained for hours.

seems like an interesting guy... excellent portfolio... the title of the book came from JW himself

"You ought to do a story about me.”

When Ted asked why, he was stunned by the answer. “Because, I’ve played in three Super Bowls.”
